Historical context
About this institution
The Arizona Military Museum occupies a 1936 adobe arsenal building on the Papago Military Reservation, where Arizona National Guard history and changing military collections are interpreted. The building itself has landmark significance, and the museum has contributed historical exhibit photography to the Arizona Memory Project state library archive.
Why it matters to Medal of Honor research
The original exhibit image is preserved by the Arizona Memory Project, whose reproduction rights are independent and are NOT used as site imagery. The site instead uses a properly licensed image of the actual museum’s historic adobe interior.
